"Tourism matters to the State of Missouri and to Pulaski County. It's important to reinforce that message to our legislators at the Capitol and let them know the importance of tourism funding and how much we appreciate the support," said Rick Morris, President of the Board of Directors of the Pulaski County Tourism Bureau.

Morris attended the event along with fellow board members Gayle Helms and Janel Rowell. The group visited legislator offices to speak with elected officials and discussed legislative issues important to the hospitality industry.
